================
find the equation of each line, then find the intersection.

Maybe you are expected to graph the lines to find the intersection.
The usual problem is you are given a system of equations and asked to find the solution graphically.
It could be something like system%28x-y=0%2C2x-3y=5%29 .
To graph the line for each equation, you may find the coordinates of two points, plot those points, and connect them with a straight line.
You graph both lines; figure out what the intersection seems to be from the graph,
and then verify that the coordinates of the apparent solution point really satisfy both equations.
The lines intersect at highlight%28%22%28+2+%2C+4+%29%22%29 , the point with highlight%28system%28x=2%2Cy=4%29%29 .
